CD Reviews

I am sick of Beatles and Kinks influenced bands..kind of

03/19/1999

(3 out of 5 stars)

"So, I bought the CD and it was really good.At a different time in my life I would have flipped but today I am craving a new sound. It's not their fault, the songs all have a chorus that stick in my head like so many Paul Mcartney tunes.And the guitars,bass,and drums all make music instead of pounding out a mindless grooooooove.But,ya know I am a bit done with this kind of"smart" pop songwriting style, Two Turn Tables and a microphone.Embrace the future boys harmony and melody are a thing of the past.I am on to your manipulative ways ..get the song out of my head!!"

I heard them on vin scela's radio show,why not more?

"I stay up late on sunday nights, its my special time to decompress,light candles and open my self up to the only independent DJ in New York City.Surprise me ,turn me on,educate me,I yearn and many times he does and I am.In my bath, my husband is with the kids and it happens.I have heard them before on these nights but not for a while.Valentine Smith have remained a wonderful,mysterious,surprise.I dont know what they look like, I have never seen them,and until I searched for them on Amazon I did not know how to buy their record. It arrived in my mail today.I will be saving it for Sunday night..with my glass of wine..and supreme expectations."

Best band I've seen in years

"Valentine Smith is simply a great band. All of their CDs are worthwhile, but "Valentine Smith" is their best and most consistent. They are frequently described as a pop band, but they rock much more than that label would indicate. There is not a weak song on the CD. They play well, sing well, and write intelligent, funny songs with great melodies. They are also a superb live band. They should become hugely successful, if in no other way, by word of mouth alone."
